White House continues to avoid comment on controversial Limbaugh remarks

Following White House press secretary Scott McClellan's refusal on May 6 to repudiate radio host Rush Limbaugh's comments regarding the abuse of prisoners in Iraq, McClellan was asked on May 11 by a reporter whether he thought Vice President Dick Cheney would appear as a guest on The Rush Limbaugh Show again. McClellan refused to comment:

QUESTION: Do you think the vice president will do the Rush Limbaugh show again, given his almost embrace of these photos?

MCCLELLAN: You can ask the -- ask those questions to the vice president's office. They have a -- they have a press office.

On March 22, Cheney was a guest on Limbaugh's radio show. In 1992, Limbaugh was an overnight guest in the White House of then-President George H.W. Bush.

Media outlets are holding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to a higher standard by scandalizing her use of personal email while at the State Department, claiming the practice raises questions about her "transparency." In reality, other public officials -- including former Florida Governor Jeb Bush (R), who is attacking Clinton over the emails, and former Secretary of State Colin Powell -- have exclusively used personal email.

The New York Times accused Hillary Clinton of potentially violating federal law pertaining to the preservation of e-mail records while acting as Secretary of State, but requirements to maintain such records did not exist during her tenure.

The Washington Post's Glenn Kessler claimed that President Obama "appears to be purposely ignoring" the U.S. State Department's conclusions on whether most of the refined oil products from the Keystone XL pipeline would be exported. However, the State Department did not find that the majority of the refined oil products from Keystone XL would be consumed in the U.S., as Kessler suggested, and groups opposing Keystone XL note that the coastal refineries Keystone XL would service currently ship more than half of their refined oil products overseas.
